Overlooked: The Best Missed Connections of the Week

There’s something romantic about the rain. Whether you’re using it as a conversation starter or an excuse to share an umbrella, this week’s Missed Connections prove there’s some cheer in this dreary weather.

It was about 3pm and it had just started to rain. I was on my way home and saw you waiting for the bus. You were soaking in the rain as the rain drops danced on your hair. You wiped them off with an ease that masked the beauty of the moment. I could not take it anymore. I turned around, popped the trunk, and gave you the only umbrella I had. I apologized that it was broken, you said it didn’t matter. I got in my car and drove away, now I can’t drive the memory of it all away. If you get this message, I will love to see you again, if only once. If you never get this message, I think you are the most beautiful thing I ever saw in the rain.

You stood under my umbrella waiting for the bus just north of Dupont Circle on Wednesday night around 9:45. Your name is Kasper, but your real name is Leon. You were cute and funny. I can’t believe I got on the bus without us exchanging numbers.. I hope to meet you again some day!
